Software Development
Shimmer Research provides a number of supporting software development tools and applications. Designed to assist users to unlock Shimmer’s full potential, and to develop applications specific to their requirements – all software is made freely available to current customers and users of the Shimmer platform.
Supporting Software Development Tools:
Shimmer LabVIEW Library
The Shimmer 2 LabVIEW Instrument Driver Library is a library of LabVIEW VIs designed to assist users of the Shimmer 2 and Shimmer 2r in the development of Shimmer based applications in LabVIEW.
The Shimmer LabVIEW Library provides all the benefits associated with the LabVIEW development environment, and incorporates a number of end user functions specific to the Shimmer platform. Extensive supporting documentation is available, along with video demonstrations and annotations.

C# Development
ShimmerConnect allows users to display and save data received from Shimmer devices streaming over Bluetooth. The application is designed for greater usability and functionality, with a number of data capture parameters being configurable.
ShimmerConnect is a .NET application, written in C#. The source code is available to existing customers upon request. For more details visit the following web-pages:

Application Development
One of the key features of the Shimmer platform is that it provides all the sensed data in raw or semi processed format. With Shimmer the user can capture the specific data that adds value to their product or research, and develop applications to interpret the information in a meaningful way.
Shimmer Research does not provide application specific host side software, and it is recommended that customers develop applications that are tailored to their requirements. This will allow customers to fully realise the potential and flexibility of Shimmer’s open source nature, and ensure the host application is tailored to produce results that adds real value to your product, service, project or research.
